Elon Musk appears to be Muntzing Twitter by getting all the Wokies and dead wood to quit:

quote:

Muntzing is the practice and technique of reducing the components inside an electronic appliance to the minimum required for it to function.[1] The term is named after the man who invented it, Earl "Madman" Muntz, a car and electronics salesman[2] who was also a self-taught electrical engineer.

In the 1940s and 1950s, television receivers were very complex pieces of equipment, often containing upwards of 30 vacuum tubes, as well as transformers, rheostats, and other heavy electronics. The consequent high price limited their potential for high-volume sales. Muntz determined, through trial and error, that he could remove a significant number of parts and still end up with a monochrome TV that worked very well in urban areas, close to transmission towers. He carried a pair of wire clippers around and when he felt that one of his builders was overengineering a circuit, he would begin snipping components out. When the TV stopped functioning, he would reinsert the last part and leave the TV as it was.[1]

As a result of removing tubes and greatly simplifying circuits originally designed to boost function in fringe areas (far from transmission towers), Muntz's sets generated less heat, thus diminishing overheating which was one of the most common reasons for failure in early sets. The reduced circuitry also reduced the power requirements; as a result, smaller power supplies could be used, so the sets weighed significantly less. Additionally, as the power supplies contained expensive copper, this further reduced cost.

I watched these leftist shitheads PLOTTING on Reddit to do exactly what that video talks about. They’re absolutely foaming at the mouth that their censorship/propaganda machine is being dismantled by Musk.

That was awesome Para-

That's not new. That's been around for years.

Love to see everyone who sticks with them to get promotions and big raises, and for them to make a big public show of it, that would be the ultimate insult to those that fled. More pay for more work, an uncomfortable concept for them.

And another thing- these commie crybabies need to give it a rest with this silly "hellscape" nonsense.

Twitter is a "hellscape"? Really? With a Latte Bar and pillow-strewn isolation lounges where Twitter employees can go to recoup after their grueling 45 minute work day? Do you have any idea at all as to how ridiculous this sounds? This crap insults all the people in this country who actually work for a living, you bunch of adolescent prima donnas.

Joseph Campbell was once asked about his concept of Hell and he said that it would be a place beyond any human imagining. Ponder that for a moment; a place so horrible that the human imagination is not able to conceive it.

All the man is asking is that employees dress appropriately, go to the office and WORK! Hell, at 75+, I’d go to work for the man today, but then I’m from a different time. I don’t need the money, just the call to do your job is all I need.

Beancooker could give them lessons in using a broom.

The insane leftists on Reddit were promising to do to Twitter what they did to GameStop.

This is entertaining

Musk trolls AOC, liberal journalists who panicked over end of Twitter: ‘The best people are staying’

Elon Musk has begun playfully trolling prominent critics of his new Twitter business practices, indicating he’s unfazed about their displeasure with how he’s been running the company.

Earlier this week, the world’s richest man and new Twitter owner elicited extreme criticism when his email to Twitter employees asking them to work harder or exit the company was leaked.

Musk had asked employees to commit to an "extremely hardcore" work ethic for the sake of the company or be forced to exit with three months severance. Though many on the site called the move cruel and described the website under his management as a "hellscape."

Musk began by leaving snarky remarks on some of these naysayers’ posts. He went after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s, D-N.Y., tweet of solidarity to the workers of Twitter, who "deserved better" than to deal with their new CEO.

Ocasio-Cortez, who occasionally feuds with Musk on the site, responded to the leaked email, tweeting, "Shout out to all the workers at Twitter. You all built a vital place for connection and deserved so much better. Millions of people appreciate the space you built and the hard work that went into it. Thank you."

Recognizing the indirect jab at him, Musk sarcastically replied, "You’re welcome." 

This encouraged other AOC critics to pile on. Conservative Twitter influencer "Catturd" blasted the congresswoman, tweeting, "AOC pretending to know about hard work," followed by a laughing emoji.

Conservative commentator Pete D’Abrosca slammed AOC, tweeting, "Remember that time you chased Amazon out of New York and cost the state like a billion jobs?

Amidst all the complaints, on Thursday evening, Musk tweeted out to his followers, "And … we just hit another all-time high in Twitter usage lol." He added, "Let that sink in …" It was a direct hit on all those who had been saying the company under his leadership would fail.

Making a self-deprecating joke about all the supposed chaos, Musk also tweeted, "How do you make a small fortune in social media? Start out with a large one."

He continued to snark at the naysayers through his responses to people friendly to his cause. When British journalist Piers Morgan asked, "Could all the people currently whining about ‘the death of Twitter’ since @elonmusk bought it… just leave Twitter?" Musk replied, "Seriously."

Barstool Sports president Dave Portnoy asked, "What do people mean when they say Twitter is gonna shut down? Doesn’t it kinda run itself? I feel like engineers are for changes not to just keep it running? I also don’t know anything. Hey @elonmusk wanna do a Twitter space with me? Im confused." 

In response, Elon quipped, "The best people are staying, so I’m not super worried."

Another account wrote, "The far left is desperately praying for Twitter to be a disaster, spinning stories about how the sky is burning… but the truth is everyone on Twitter is having fun. Including them! haven’t seen this site so active in a while @elonmusk."

The Twitter owner made a humorous observation, tweeting, "Record numbers of users are logging in to see if Twitter is dead, ironically making it more alive than ever!"

AOC like you've never seen her before...

Upside down! 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her first starring role is

Extremely Hardcore

So is Musk burning down the village to save it? This isn't looking like such a good business investment.

I wouldn't presume to know what the future holds for Twitter, but whatever happens, this is highly entertaining.

Looks like Jordan Peterson and The Babylon Bee have been reinstated.

Now it's even more of a "hellscape"

I'm not worried about Twitter failing economically. I'm worried about the Biden Administration, the EU, Canada, China, the WEF, Russia and the ACLU all going after EM for allowing freedom of speech. Oh, and the Apple Store Stasi.
